1986 Ford Country Squire from North America - Comments

I enjoyed the review and could not agree more about the full-sized cars of yesteryear (now rarities). But I would like to inquire - isn't the 351 quite rare in these 80s Crown Vics and Country Squires? All of the ones I've come across have the 302.

The reviewer is apparently in the GWN (Canada), thus the reference to km/hr rather than mph. The only Crown Vics in the US that had a 351 were the police cars, and they had a carburetor instead of the fuel injection that came on the 302.

Keep on truckin' brother! I have a 98' Crown Vic and love it!

I'm 22, but I will ever only drive real cars: Body on Frame RWD, and anything less than a V8 will not do. It makes me proud to see many others with the love of these yachts. I don't care how small someone says the market for these cars may be. In fact it is huge, and there are many who would love to walk into a showroom and pick up a brand new Caprice or Country Squire, with maybe more power and iPod hook-up, and be happy.

The old Crown Vics are some of the most reliable, solidly built cars ever made. In my area seeing a 30-year-old Crown Vic is not at all unusual. Our record with a Ford is only 325,000 miles, but after 18 years we just got bored with it and traded it. It still ran just great.

Usually you need an 1984 or earlier to do the classic car shows in my area in the Northeast. But it's different and showing up at a cruise night would be an option. People like novelty or unusual. This would be a great car to drive the family to the beach on weekends here. Fuel is cheap enough to start using these land yachts again.
